Black Stone Cherry (Official Thread)

[Musikwala]

Listened to a few samples of this band's music.

Me And Mary Jane sounds decent on one listen. Soulcreek, especially the chorus, sounds a lot like Poison's 'Stand'. Is anybody else hearing it?

 

[Lynch]

I never would have made that connection, but yeah, vocally there are similarities, mostly in the chorus. Musically, they are completely different.

And finally, here's the full song

Awesome track. Now I am really pumped for this album!

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

Here's the cover artwork. Eeeeerm terrible, but hey, the music is the most important thing.

 

[Lynch]

Yeah, that's pretty bad, but I don't think it's quite as bad as their debut cover. Both that one and this one reek of a band trying to hard to push their "stoner rock" anthems. *shrug*.

As you said, the music is the most important thing and if the first song is any indication, this album is going to kick ass!

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

Well said. I wasn't overly fond of the "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea" cover either, although at least it fit in with the title of the album. "Folklore and Superstition" (+backside and booklet) was great. It tied in perfectly with the music and set a certain mood even before inserting the disc in the player.

Here's another new song: "Fiesta Del Fuego".

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

And one more called "Never Surrender"!

 

[Lynch]

Cool. I'll definitely be picking up this album in a couple of weeks when it comes out.

I like Never Surrender better than the one before it. That one wasn't bad but was a bit of a letdown after Me and Mary Jane.

BTW: My daughter and I are planning on seeing them in concert when they come to town in May. They will be the 2nd of 3 bands that night, the headliner being Seether. I'm not a big Seether fan, but they do have some decent tunes.
